Gun Lake Casino partnered with Degage Ministries last week to serve meals to those in need in the Grand Rapids area. The charitable effort combined food prepared at The Harvest Buffet and Sandhill Café at Gun Lake Casino with the efforts of casino employees who volunteered their time to serve meals to over 300 people at the Degage Ministries. “Gun Lake Casino team members volunteer with many local charitable organizations each year, and Degage Ministries is by far a team member favorite,” said Eric Althaus, vice president and assistant general manager for Gun Lake Casino. “We’re thrilled to be able to partner with such a great organization each year to provide these much-needed meals.” Joining Gun Lake Casino was Grand Rapids musician, Sean Copenhaver, who volunteered his time to provide entertainment to the Degage Ministries patrons.

In addition to providing meals, Gun Lake Casino representatives also presented Degage Ministries with a check for $2,500.

“We are so thankful for Gun Lake Casino’s ongoing commitment to our ministry and for believing in our mission,” said Marge Palmerlee, executive director for Degage Ministries. “Each year, their generosity helps supports our programs for the Heartside Community.
